It’s been a fun few weeks. The internet — and more than a few scientists — got their hopes up a couple weeks ago when a team of physicists from South Korea announced that they had created a ...

Hope springs eternal. For decades, there have been claims that researchers have created room-temperature superconductors. The materials promise to conduct an electric current with zero resistance ...

What are the best dishes to make that can sit out at room temp for a long time? The USDA recommends we follow the two-hour rule: Food should only be left out at room temperature for two hours.

To store in the fridge or not? That is the question most of us ask about several common kitchen items and leftovers. Don't feel foolish if you frequently wind up stumped — so do the rest of us! Here's ...

We ran side-by-side cooks—fridge-cold versus counter-rested—on steaks, pork, and chicken to see if a “room temp” sit changes browning, timing, or juiciness. Conventional wisdom says you should "temper ...

A journalist's job is to tell the truth even if that truth is hard to swallow. Speaking of: You know what else is hard to swallow? A glass of ice-cold water when you're thirsty. Let me state the truth ...

Researchers in Korea have announced the discovery of a "room-temperature superconductor," known as LK-99, a technology that could potentially produce frictionless energy and transform society by ...

We started out being skeptical, but cautiously optimistic. Then, the bad news just kept rolling in. Claims of a room temperature and ambient pressure superconductor have torn the scientific community ...

Peterborough, N.H. — In the early 1980s, a Russian physicist embarked on a search for a room-temperature semiconductor. Twenty-five years later, a U.S. company is looking to build on that quest and ...
